21 yr old living with mom and grandparents

Is it normal to be a 21 yr old male with no college education still living with my mom and grandparents? My mom sleeps literally all day and my grandfather cant wait until 5pm to start drinking every night. My grandmother does all the work. is it normal?
Do you think it's normal?

It's not that unusual but, you can probably do better for yourself. Get a job, move out, even if it has to be to a worse part of town.
Many 20-somethings still live at home ...

Whenever living with others ALL household members should be pitching in with the housework.
Please do your share and help out your Grandma!

You tagged this "depression" - it's time to move on. While a lot of homes now have 2 or 3 generations living under one roof, it's take a special family dynamic and it takes work. My advice is get out on your own, get a job, get a dog, and get laid.
yeah,take anonamous' advice, get laid an move up outta that place, and help ya grandma homeboy

Find a roomate, that'll cut down on the cost a bit for rent and stuff. Get a job, even if its delivering pizza. I was 20 and living at home a semester in college, then I moved out. Recently, I am 23 now, and I stayed with my grandparents for a few days because my fiancee and I had some issues. We're ok now, though. It happens, but get out before you're like...25 and still at home

It sounds like your mother and granfather have problems with depression.
I'd start pulling your weight and help your grandma out and maybe see if you can find a job just to get you out the house and busy. Maybe you could then share a place with a friend or something. It's not unusual to stay with your parents at 21 but I think you'd probably benefit greatly if you could keep yourself busy. Good luck.
Yeah,you should get a job, then save some money to get your own place. I would suggest getting a roommate though, someone close to your age. Dont be a loser continuously moving back home. Get out on your own to give yourself some sense of responsibilty and life experince. You will be very happy you did.
Try hanging yourself. I hear it's very effective.
your life sounds sooo cool.
